Advertising the Default Route

RIP has a built-in feature which allows you to advertise a default route to
direct neighbors and propagate the default route. Advertising a default
route via RIP can save you time in managing the switches.

To propagate a default route, use the DEFAULT-INFORMATION
ORIGINATE command in the Routing Configuration mode.

The following example assigns the switch the default gateway address
192.168.1.1 and adds the route into the routing update to advertise it:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
awplus(config)# router rip
awplus(config-route)# default-information originate
